Dildos are the oldest sex toy you know. Entire 30,000-Year-old depictions of dildos have been found. There is no doubt that it was just dildos depicted. It was actually long before the invention of the wheel. The use of dildos was widespread in the ancient world, especially in ancient Greece where they were called olisbos and were made of stone, wood or padded leather. In Italy, they were called diletto (Pasticcio), which means joy. This toy was also widely used during the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and was early modernity.

While most dildos are shaped after an erect penis, dildos need not be realistically designed. There are dildos that have more imaginative shapes such as a banana or cucumber. But regardless of appearance, all dildos are supposed to replace or symbolize an, almost exclusively, erect penis.

Material for Dildos

Dildos can be made of many different materials. It is important to choose a dildo made of a material that meets your needs. The material is of great importance for how dildos are experienced in use, hygiene, durability and of course the price.

Jelly

One of the cheapest and most common materials for dildos and sex toys at all is jelly. Dildos made of this material come in many different shapes, sizes and colors. A jelly dildo is porous and thus not so easy to clean. Dildos of jelly also have a relatively short life span. But a jelly dildo can be a good first sex toy if you are unsure of what type of toy you like the most.

Silicone

Silicone is, according to many, the best dildo material available for sex toys. Unfortunately also among the more expensive ones. Silicone is a flexible, non-porous and highly durable material. A silicone dildo is also ideal for people who are concerned about allergies. Many silicone dildos feel very lifelike.

Hard materials

Hard materials such as glass have many advantages. It is a strong, highly durable, hypoallergenic and hygienic material. With proper care, they can last a lifetime. In addition, glass is very beautiful material. Other types of hard materials with similar properties are ceramic and steel.

Why would you want to use a dildo?

A dildo can enhance the sex life of women, men and couples. For both women and men, it gives each of them complete control over the size, girth, depth and speed in which they are being penetrated. It can also add a little extra zing and variety during masturbation. Couples may find it exciting when engaging in mutual masturbation. It can also be very visually exciting to penetrate your partner with such a toy. It also has a health benefit. As women go through menopause, their vaginal walls tend to thin which can make intercourse painful or discomforting. Using a dildo regularly will help maintain vaginal tone by exercising the vaginal muscles.

What shape is right for me?

Realistic

Perhaps the best-known dildos in the world are what those in the business call Realistic. These can range in size from the modest to the enormous, with some models cresting 15 inches in height. A realistic dildo typically consists of a soft rubber material with a realistic skin tone. Many are moulded directly from an actual penis and have all the nuances you'd expect from the real thing.

Fans of adult cinema will rejoice at the sheer number of famous dildos available. Each year more and more stars have their penises cast in rubber to bring their fans the ultimate virtual encounter.

Smoothies

As the name implies, smoothies are slick and smooth. Generally, smoothies are made of a rubberized gel-type material whose translucency adds that certain je ne sais quoi to the experience. Friction fanatics beware: these dildos may not be for you. Smoothies have a rounded tip and a smooth shaft. The sensations generated are completely unique.

G-Spot (curved dildos)

These dildos have a rounded end meant for G Spot stimulation. The G Spot is located on the upper wall of the vagina about 1/3 of the way up the vaginal canal. After insertion, the curved end should be pointing upwards towards your navel. While the idea is theoretically a good one, in practice the G Spot dildo isn't always precise enough to really hit every G spot. No G-Spot is the same - some women report not being able to find theirs at all - but nonetheless, you still might want to give these a try.

Another popular use of these dildos is for male prostate stimulation. By all accounts, the G Spot dildos get the job done in this regard.

For a variety of reasons, many women are looking for alternatives to penis-shaped dildos. Some of the most beautiful dildos out there look nothing like a penis. You'll find dolphin dildos, vegetable dildos, and even objet d'art dildos that resemble nothing at all.
